The primary function of the Career Center Specialist (CCS) is to serve as the main contact for the University Career Center (UCC) and provide quality customer service in person, on the phone, and via email. The CCSs provide warm and friendly customer service while staffing the reception desk at the UCC. As a CCS, not only will you communicate regularly with students but also with our career center staff to help connect students to resources and opportunities.

CSSs serve as a vital direct link between the UCC and students who are seeking career assistance. CSSs assist students who walk into the career center with questions and direct them to the resources they need. CCSs also schedule appointments for students with the career coaches. In addition, CCSs help provide career opportunities for their fellow Jayhawks by postings jobs and internships in KU Career Connections (our career management system) and give thoughtful feedback on resumes through the Resume Dropbox.
